Now on the night I arrived My daddy said "Sake's Alive!" It's the meanest one that we've had yet Teethed on tin and weaned on gin I was nobody's teacher's pet I grew up rough and mean In my early teens And I didn't want to go to school I called no man "Sir" Work was a dirty word My biggest kick was breakin' the rules So when you see me comin' get away The ones that didn't ain't around today The sweetest piece of lovin' any girl ever had I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad Born, born to be bad I was born Born to be bad Now when I reached twenty one I knew the time had come I had that old ramblin' itch Breaking little girls hearts I tore the world apart A guitar playin' son of a (guitar) Born to be bad That is the story of my life Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right Now when I'm gray and old And my story is told I know what the people will say They'll be glad to see me go But the little girls'll know I was bad till my dyin' day So when you see me comin' get away The ones that didn't ain't around today The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad Born, born to be bad I was born Born to be bad Born to be bad That is the story of my life Doin' things wrong was my way of doin' things right Now when I'm old and gray And I've had my day I know what the people will do They'll be glad to see me go But the little girls'll know I was bad till the day I was Through So when you see me comin' get away The ones that didn't ain't around today The sweetest piece of loving any girl ever had I'm here to tell you boys I was born to be bad Born, born to be bad I was born Born to be bad I was born Born to be bad, yeah Bad!
